Default Blackline tank stripe

Hey guys,

I just picked up my 2013 Denim Black Blackline and was wondering if anyone has ever changed the color of the stripe on the tank. It is currently Red, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to change this color so it is different than all others out there.

Anyone have any lil tricks for me?

Thanks in advance.

I blacked mine out. I have a vinyl cutter, so I just cut a few gloss black strips to put over the red lines. You could probably use the vinyl pinstriping they sell at the auto parts store the same way.

A pinstriper could do it pretty easily
